Chapter 14 The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada
Qinglong Mountain is only five or six hundred zhang high, far inferior to Qingsang Mountain, it can only be regarded as a small mountain, the peak is flat at the beginning, but the more you go up, it is a little rugged and steep.
It is somewhat similar to Mount Tai's hanging cliff peak, but it is not as abrupt as the sword mound in the center of the hanging cliff peak, and the houses are built in a relatively flat area in the place occupied by the bandits of Qinglong Mountain on the top of the mountain.
However, the central hall is close to the mountain, and the steep place seems to have been split by a huge force, and the hall is built in front of it, with its back to the mountain.
At this moment, in the Juyi Hall, the bandits under the hall did not think as much as the three leaders, drinking wine and eating meat, heartily, and the three leaders on the seat were looking at the huge tiger skin behind the blue-headed eagle.
The three of them exchanged glances, nodded to each other, and then stood up together, when at this moment, there was a sudden shout outside the hall, and then one of them crawled and fell to the ground, with a scimitar stuck in his back, "The king..."
Before he finished speaking, the person lost his breath, and the eyes of the three leaders suddenly cleared, and they turned backwards, but at this time, the blue-headed eagle threw himself under the hall, grabbed the person, his face was pale, and he noticed that he was dead, so he threw him to the ground.
This sudden scene interrupted the pleasure of eating and drinking among the bandits in the Gathering Hall, and at this moment, they all stood up and looked at the three leaders in the hall.
The blue-headed eagle seemed to suddenly realize something, and the momentary panic turned into calm, and he stepped out of the righteous hall, and the bandits guarding outside the hall at the moment were all killed, and fell to the ground crookedly.
Everyone took a breath of cool air when they watched this scene, although they were noisy in the hall, they didn't know the scene outside the hall. But there were fifty or sixty people who were guarding the outside, and they were killed silently.
The shock of these horse bandits can be imagined. The timid horse bandit was already pale, but fortunately. None of the people in the wooden cage left, watching it all with more fear than they did.
The three leaders were still relatively calm, and the moment the green-headed eagle saw this scene, he ordered, "Gather the brothers, strictly guard against death, and kill all these people!"
As these words fell, the bandits here drew their scimitars one by one, but the fear in their hearts did not decrease. During the day, he strode meteors in Qinglong Mountain, but at this time, he tiptoed and approached the cage with vigilance.
At this moment, all the horse bandits scattered everywhere, and the shouts and shouts sounded to hide the uneasiness in their hearts, and the blue-headed eagle said to the fat scholar and the three leaders of the animal skin, "Go and pack your things, we are ready to escape." ”
The second and third leaders seemed to suddenly understand and exclaimed. "It's Tianshan!"
After speaking, the two of them showed incredulous expressions, they had been discussing this matter in the Juyi Hall before, but they didn't expect it to come so quickly.
The three leaders were afraid, but they were also angry. They do things for the Tianshan Mountains, but today's mountains are going to kill people without saying a word, "Big brother." You can't just leave it at that!"
The second leader took a step back into the hall and said. "The murderer is unknown now, but he must be a person with extremely high martial arts. Let's go in and have a look. ”
Hearing this, the three of them looked at the huge tiger skin of the Juyi Hall again, covering the cold walls under it, and each glanced at it, and then made up their minds, "Then let's go in and have a look!"
The blue-headed eagle pulled out the iron whip coiled around his waist, and the three leaders picked up a broadsword casually, and the three of them ignored the scene outside the hall and walked into the hall again.
At this moment, the first scream sounded, but it was the horse bandits who had already opened the first cage and grabbed the women and children like livestock, one by one.
On the verge of death, the desire to survive far outweighed the fear of the bandits, and they began to resist, the cage was opened, and the woman rushed out without fear of death.
The horse bandits were already guarding against the enemy in the shadows, so they were reopened by these survivors, but then an even more ferocious repression followed, and in a short time, none of the people in the first cage survived, and turned into cold corpses.
Xu was because of this killing, which aroused the original fierceness and ferocity in the hearts of the horse bandits, and the fear of the unknown enemy was weakened by three points, and the speed of opening the second cage was obviously much faster.
With the previous scene, the people in the second cage rushed out the moment the door was opened, but the horse bandits gathered more and more, several times the number of women and children in the prison, and there were blades, and they fell as many as they rushed out.
For a while, this Qinglong Mountain seemed to have become a purgatory on earth, and the third cage was opened again, and the people in the cage had no idea of resisting, and the woman held the child tightly and held her head in her arms, for fear of seeing this scene.
The first bandit brandished a knife and walked into the cage, but then there was a sound of fluttering and falling to the ground, and the atmosphere seemed to freeze, and the bandit turned around with difficulty, only to find that it was the bandit behind him who had fallen, and his eyes were round.
The bandit's heart was terrified, and just as he was about to raise his knife and shout, he heard an extremely fast and numbing sound of breaking the air, and before the knife in the bandit's hand was raised, an extremely transparent hole appeared on the neck, and a blood-colored thumb-sized thing flew out of it, penetrating the body of the second bandit.
The rest of the bandits were terrified, and they looked around, the thrill of killing had long since disappeared, replaced by the fear of ignorance.
The pop sound sounded again, and the horse bandits moved in unison, but they didn't see anything, and only the shadows of the trees were swaying around, but there were still horse bandits falling, and someone suddenly shouted, "Get down, ...... quickly"
Before he finished the second sentence, the knife in his hand fell to the ground with a snap, and the rest of the horse bandits fell to the ground with a bang, and their eyes looked at the dark surroundings, but there was still no figure in sight.
At this time, the men in the third cage began to flee, desperately fleeing, and although the horse bandits on the ground had orders, they were frightened by the previous scene, and did not dare to get up again, and watched them flee down the mountain.
The people in the fourth and fifth cages began to cry out for help, but the people who escaped from the third cage continued to flee for their lives regardless of them.
The horse bandits on the ground bowed their heads the moment they heard the sound, but these two sounds were the cage chains of the fourth and fifth seats that were opened.
After the ecstasy, the caged men began to run away, trampling on the body of the bandits, and fled down the mountain, when in the dark woods, a very deep voice sounded, "Are these people enough?"
Looking at this place, there were dozens of people in the black press, breathing evenly, holding a long sword, looking at the scene in front of them expressionlessly, and suddenly heard another person reply, "Third Senior Uncle, enough!"
.........
None of them noticed that there were six wooden cages here, and on the dark left, the sixth cage had already been opened, and the women and children in it had long since disappeared, and in the bushes behind the cages, there were also two dark shadows.
"Dao Chief, what about Qing Xun?" These two figures are Qiu Xin and Dao Xian, Qiu Xin took advantage of the night to go up the mountain, rushed to Qinglong Mountain first, and quietly knocked down the horse bandits guarding it, but when he opened it and was about to open the cage, he felt that the horse bandits around him were killed one by one.
The people in the dark had an even breath, their martial arts were profound, and Qiu Xin did not move rashly, until these horse bandits attracted attention, they quietly let go of the people in the cage and let them go down the mountain along the back mountain path.
And he took the Dao to guard here, because in this cage, there was no Qingxun, Qiu Xin was anxious, he could feel that these people who killed the horse bandits in Qinglong Mountain were not good stubble, and their purpose was unknown, and if they didn't find Qingxun, they were afraid that something would go wrong.
Dao Xian was also extremely serious at the moment, took out a pink porcelain bottle from his arms, pulled out the soft stopper, and suddenly a refreshing aroma emanated, "You can find her by following the smell of this plum fragrance, and after you find it, no matter what happens, come back immediately." ”
Qiu Xin nodded, and confirmed the smell of plum fragrance here, after closing the lid, there was indeed such a fragrance in the smell of blood in the air.
Suddenly, his figure flashed and left this place, and at the moment when Qiu Xin left, the dozens of black shadows hiding in another place also moved, and the sound of the long sword unsheathed was terrifying.
Flying in front of the Gathering Hall, these horse bandits finally got up and began to flee in all directions, but these black-clothed people were not only strong in martial arts, but also had a very clear goal, and guarded the place where the horse bandits escaped.
Each person is ten steps away, and they all have the momentum of one to ten, although there are many of these horse bandits, but they have no heart to resist, and can only be killed on the ground one by one.
Although the horse bandits here are only half of the horse bandits in Qinglong Mountain, there are two or three hundred, and these black-clothed people are only forty or fifty, but they have not taught a single horse bandit to escape.
These horse bandits began to shout in despair, "Big Boss, help..."At this time, in the place where the horse bandits lived in the back mountain, a fire suddenly ignited, lighting up half of the sky, and the thick fire began to spread.
When the remaining horse bandits saw this scene and saw the three leaders, their hearts were even more gloomy, "I fought with you..."
Finally, someone resisted, and the sound of ping-pong appeared on Qinglong Mountain.
There were more and more horse bandits falling in front of the hall, and the smell of blood in the air became stronger and stronger, even worse than that of Qingsang Town, which made the cool night of late summer and early autumn become restless.
The encirclement of forty or fifty black-clothed men gradually shrank, and there was still murderous blood on the long sword, gathering towards the remaining horse bandits, who were tired and tired, began to kneel and beg for mercy, and feces and urine flowed out with tears.
In just a moment, the Qinglong Mountain, where the figures were scattered, was full of corpses, blocking in front of the Gathering Hall, and these black-clothed people put their swords into their sheaths and sat quietly in three rows.
At this time, the two of them walked to the front of the Gathering Hall, and it was the person who spoke before, who glanced at the corpses lying on the flat ground in front of the hall, and said, "You leave half of them here, and half of them go in with me!" )
